I Sing a Song of the Saints of God

Author: Lesbia Scott Hymnal: Glory to God #730 (2013) Meter: Irregular Topics: Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 I sing a song of the saints of God, patient and brave and true, who toiled and fought and lived and died for the Lord they loved and knew. And one was a doctor, and one was a queen, and one was a shepherdess on the green: they were all of them saints of God, and I mean, God helping, to be one too. 2 They loved their Lord so dear, so dear, and God’s love made them strong; and they followed the right, for Jesus’ sake, the whole of their good lives long. And one was a soldier, and one was a priest, and one was slain by a fierce wild beast: and there’s not any reason, no, not the least, why I shouldn’t be one too. 3 They lived not only in ages past; there are hundreds of thousands still; the world is bright with the joyous saints who love to do Jesus’ will. You can meet them in school, or in lanes, or at sea, in church, or in trains, or in shops, or at tea; for the saints of God are just folk like me, and I mean to be one too. Scripture: Psalm 22:4-5 Languages: English Tune Title: GRAND ISLE

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: John Fawcett Hymnal: Glory to God #306 (2013) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Community in Christ Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love. The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. 2 Before our *Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers. Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes; our mutual burdens bear. And often for each other flows the sympathizing tear. 4 When we are called to part, it gives us inward pain; but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again. 5 From sorrow, toil, and pain, and sin we shall be free; and perfect love and friendship reign through all eternity. * Or "Maker's" Scripture: Psalm 133:1 Languages: English Tune Title: DENNIS
